They battled hard against each other, covering the first km in around 5.30. The last 12km was sub 12 minutes for all three of them but Becky was now a minute down. Jack reached the line with a 12 second advantage. Amazing debut times for Jack (17.11) and Ana (17.33) and a 15 second PB for Becky with 30.25.

2nd Event – 17th April – Millhouses Park
Ana Garcia, Becky Chambers and Jack Leversidge, all competing over 3km, set off at 3 second intervals. Becky was soon up with Ana but Jack found it difficult to get on terms with them. 10-year-old Ella Sharkey started her 1km race just as Peter Bilson was going through the line with 1km to go, but Ella just eased away from him. Ana and Becky worked well together until, with about 700m to go, Ana began to push the pace, eventually opening up a 21 second gap in the last 500m. They both caught Peter in the closing stages but were still half a minute behind Ella, who beat her PB by 20 seconds.

4th Event – 12th June – Don Valley
This event was held at the end of a coaching session aimed at youngsters who had qualified for the Schools City Final; disappointingly, only 2 new ones turned up from Greystones. The distance for all was 1,000 metres and was held as a ‘yacht’ handicap, where they are set off according to their handicap time, fastest off last. A PB for Ella but she couldn’t quite create the speed to get past Peter. Becky moved up 3 places in the finishing straight.

6th Event – 7 July – Millhouses Park
The day of the torrential rain, which stopped 45 minutes before the start. River in full flood and even the artificial football area was waterlogged but the paths were fine for racing. The race resulted in four personal best times.
Racing over 5km, a distance that she won’t tackle against her regular national opponents until she moves up an age group in October, Becky was always on track to dip under the magical 30 minute barrier, producing a 45 second PB. Ana Garcia clocked 17.12 minutes for 3km despite stopping twice to tie a shoe lace. Ella Sharkey matched her PB from 11 days earlier and Alana Zeidler produced another great 1km.

Ana Garcia made an immediate impact on the race goimg through 500m 19 seconds up on her target schedule and moving away from Jack by 6 seconds. She continued at a furious pace to hit the front of the race just before 500m to go. Jack managed to raise his pace in the last 500m to close on Ana by 8 seconds and pass Alana Zeidler for second place in the last 100m. Ana’s excellent new PB of 16.33 minutes matched Jack’s current PB.

Tackling her first 2km race, Alana Zeidler, having only taken up race walking in May, passed Peter Bilson to move into the lead with about 700m to go.

With 150m to go, Alana Zeidler was in the lead. This would have been enough to put her in equal first place but Ana Garcia, who was producing an amazing 3km time, passed her at this point to knock Alana out of the medals and secure the South Yorkshire County AA trophy for herself.Four of the walkers beat their handicap target. Ana, still an U13 (11), was timed at 15.54 minutes; only one U15 girl has bettered that in the last 8 years.
